If you've heard the song "Doubletake" by Edgehill, you may have had to double-check what decade you're living in.

The track, which currently sits in the top 15 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, definitely has a distinct '90s alternative rock feel.

"We'd been listening to a lot of Weezer, obviously," frontman Chris Kelly tells ABC Audio. "We'd been listening to Pavement a good amount. Just really cool '90s bands that have dry vocals, distorted guitar."

"Doubletake" appears on Edgehill's new album, Ode to the Greyhouse, which is out now. To paraphrase a movie from the '90s, Kelly and his bandmates felt that "Doubletake" really tied the record together.

"After we wrote that, we were like, 'OK, this feels like the album's cohesive now,'" Kelly says. "It felt like just that song existing kind of tied a couple things together."

Overall, Kelly feels that "Doubletake" is a good representation of what else you'll hear in Ode to the Greyhouse.

"I kind of feel like you can find parts of every song on the record in 'Doubletake,'" Kelly says.

In addition to sounding like the '90s, lyrics on Ode to the Greyhouse reflect that feeling of ironic detachment often associated with the decade.

"A lot of it's about cognitive dissonance and the ways that we all think improperly, you could say," Kelly says. "The things that we do that don't line up with what we actually believe."

Edgehill will play an album release show in New York City on Feb. 18. They'll launch a U.S. tour in March.
